My daughter is 6 years old. She got her ankle sprained during gymnastics training and it was swollen the next day. After an xray her doctor recommeded a cast for 3 weeks. After the cast was removed there was still a mild swell and pain. She rested 5 days and resumed training but after 3 weeks post cast it still pains and swells. Please advice.

High grade sprains sometimes take longer to heal. She might also need protective bracing or taping for a few more weeks along with physiotherapy. See a sports medicine expert in your area
